I hope I'm doing this right...
Here's the story of Molly and Faline, my two house rabbits. They are a bonded husbun and wife. Molly is the boy. He was very small when I got him, and though I did try to change his name it had stuck.

At first it was just me and Molly. He shared my room with me at uni and amazed all who came round. Molly had been a bit of an impulse buy. I'd been looking into getting a small animal to have at uni since I'd grown up with pets and was finding it hard without them. Though I did have Arnie the mouse. I had ruled out rabbits since one of my housemates was scared of them. However I went in a small pet shop to suss out rodent cage prices and although this shop had never had livestock in it before there at the back in a makeshift cage was 4 tiny baby rabbits. One of them licked my finger when I put it through the bars to say hello.
I left the shop but the rabbits were on my mind so much I had to go back and get one. After first asking the phobic housemate's permission. I brought the baby bun a dog crate to live in and a couple of days later we returned for my last year at uni. At first Molly was so small he could escape from his crate so he became free range.
I let my housemate and good friend name him so they could bond better.
I time Molly and I left uni and returned to my parents. Faced with the prospect of having a job and not dossing about at home all the time I felt Molly needed a friend. Off he went to get neutered. I tried local rescues but there was no-bun suitable. I became interested in the mini-rex breed and found a breeder online. As it happened the lady had a litter which would be 10 weeks old at a time my Dad and I would be visiting family near her. So Faline came into our lives. I was told she was not a showable colour and so she only cost me £5 but she's beautiful to me.
Molly and Faline bonded and now 2 years later we all live in a house with my o/h who is the same housemate who was scared of rabbits originally. We share responsibility of 7 rabbits all together and the other 5 live outside in a group.
